Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms for 5e has something like it, but it offers a perk or two at every tier of gameplay.Light MasteryFor weapons with the Light Property, you get Lightweight or Multiweapon Fighting at tier 1.Lightweight Prerequisites: martial level 2, proficiency with at least one Light weapon. While the only weapons you are wielding are Light weapons and you aren’t wearing a shield or heavy armour, your speed increases by 10 feet .Multi-Weapon FightingPrerequisites: martial level 2, proficiency with at least one Light weapon. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus action attack if the weapon is LightBy tier 2, you can perform a Superior Strike.Superior Strike: LightPrerequisites: martial level 6, a tier 1 Light advanced technique. You can perform a superior strike with any weapon that has the Light propertyTier 3 grants you Combination Strike or Reposte.Combination StrikePrerequisites: martial level 10, a tier 2 Light advanced technique.When you take the Attack action and attack with a Light weapon, any attack roll you make as a bonus action this turn with a Lightweapon has advantage.RipostePrerequisites: martial level 10, a tier 2 Light advanced technique. When you are wielding two Light weapons and a creature within your reach misses you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make an attack against that creature with one of the weaponsAnd finally, Tier 4 with Light Mastery gets you Featherweight or Swift Striker.FeatherweightPrerequisites: martial level 14, a tier 3 Light advanced technique. While the only weapons you are wielding are Light weapons and you aren’t wearing a shield or heavy armour, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and have advantage on Dexterity saving throws.Swift StrikerPrerequisites: martial level 14, a tier 3 Light advanced technique. When you take the Attack action, if the only weapons you are wielding are Light weapons, you can make one additional attack with a Light weapon as a part of that action, but you do not add your ability modifier to the damage, unless that modifier is negativeAll of the weapon types have these Advanced Weapon Mastery trees in Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms. They're okay IMO, but kind of restrictive as they require you to use a specific weapon type in order to benefit from them. I prefer Level Up's numerous Combat Traditions to them.</blockquote>
